Christmas Cards

5 Ways to USE Your Smaller Dies

Hello Crafters! How are you? Today I’m sharing some Christmas Cards showing some fun examples for how to use your smaller dies. I thought this would be fun, because sometimes these small dies don’t get used, or just get used as accents, but here they’re the star of the show! I’ve created grid cards, a card inspired by a fairisle jumper, an aperture card, a wreath, and I’ve even used them as an inlay with some postage stamp dies for a fun effect. There are so many ideas for them!

The dies I’ve used today are the smaller ones from the gift that comes with this month’s Die-Cutting Essentials magazine – there’s also a lovely Christmas scene die and a slightly larger Christmas tree. It’s a lovely set! And of course there are lots of other ideas for how to use them in the magazine, alongside loads of other projects too!

Check out the video below to see how to create this project yourself, then scroll to the bottom of the post to find links to the supplies you will need to create it!
